  • A close-up selfie of NEVE, brown-skinned, bright red hair climbing into a pomp, face tattoos centered between the rise and fall of expressive, slapstick eyebrows. He is wearing a black silk mask covering his nose and mouth onto which a three-dimensional cloth red rose is stitched. This mask is the emblem of La Casa de Montague, in Seattle Shakespeare's new, filmed, bilingual production of Romeo y Julieta, adapted by Ana María Campoy from the Shakespeare text, directed by Sophie Franco, choreographed for film by Alyza Del Pan Monley. NEVE is covering his already covered mouth as if in shock and surprise with a messily yet exquisitely lacquered hand, each fingernail reminiscent and expressive of a small snowy forest in the Pacific Northwest. https://www.seattleshakespeare.org/romeoyjulieta/
